Full description

Beautifully modernised 1930s home combining period charm with stylish contemporary living, superb open-plan kitchen/family space and a generous garden.

Originally believed to date from the 1930s, this attractive home has been the subject of an extensive yet sympathetic programme of modernisation and extension by the present owners since 2023. The result is an impressive blend of traditional charm and character with beautifully appointed, contemporary accommodation designed for today's modern lifestyle.

The property is approached via twin five-bar gates which open onto a generous gravelled front garden, attractively enclosed by mature hedging on three sides. There is ample off-road parking for three vehicles, leading to a newly constructed 33ft tandem garage with a remote-controlled roller door.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom and the principal reception rooms. The traditional sitting room retains a lovely sense of character, centred around a feature open fireplace.

A particular highlight is the superb open-plan everyday living space, thoughtfully designed to create a bright and sociable heart to the home. The stylish Shaker-style kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of sage-green wall and floor units, complemented by quartz work surfaces, a breakfast bar and traditional butler sink. Integrated appliances include a Neff Slide & Hide oven and Neff combination microwave oven, Neff induction hob, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, wine cooler and slimline dishwasher.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into an L-shaped dining, family and sun room, with a striking roof lantern above the dining area providing an abundance of natural light. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the south-east-facing patio, creating an ideal setting for both everyday family living and entertaining. A separate utility/boot room is conveniently accessed from both the kitchen area and entrance hall.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The guest bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

The long rear garden is another appealing feature, with a generous, paved patio providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, complemented by a newly created ornamental fishpond. Beyond is an extensive lawn bordered by established planting, with a timber garden building at the far end, providing a useful home office or equally suited to use as a gym or hobby room.

Further features include mains gas-fired underfloor heating to the ground floor and attractive retro-style radiators to the first floor. The property is on mains drainage.

Why live in Chichester?

We consider ourselves very lucky to be working in a city that blends so many different architectural styles, from elegant Georgian buildings to contemporary new apartments and waterside properties that overlook the harbour.

In 2013, The Sunday Times listed Chichester as one of the top places to live in the UK with ‘something for everyone’ – and they weren’t wrong. Chichester is a cathedral city, a county town and home to some of the oldest churches and buildings in the country. There are many well-regarded public and state schools in the local area with further and higher education options available from Chichester College, West Dean College and the University of Chichester. Our great schools have always made Chichester very appealing for those looking for the perfect place to raise a family.

Our city centre is a shopper’s paradise and there are great places to eat and drink, from elegant restaurants to cosy cafés and pubs, all set along the city’s four main streets. Chichester Cathedral on West Street dominates the skyline and, on summer afternoons, its grounds are filled with local people enjoying picnics. In the evenings, the Cathedral plays a central part in the city’s nightlife by hosting classical music events.

Chichester has a number of public parks, the Chichester Tennis and Racquets Fitness Club and Westgate Leisure Centre, where you’ll find a large swimming pool and skate park and, if sailing is your thing, Chichester Harbour is a haven for you. There really is so much to do here you’ll be spoilt for choice; spend the day on one of the many local beaches, stretch your legs on the stunning South Downs or catch a show at the Festival Theatre before it moves to a permanent home in London’s West End.
